Title
Standard Classification for Serviceability of an Office Facility for Location, Access and Wayfinding
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Apr 15, 1995
Scope:
This classification contains pairs of scales for classifying an aspect
of the serviceability of an
office facility, that is, the capability of an office facility to meet
certain possible
requirements for locating the building and finding the way inside the
building.
Within that aspect of serviceability, each pair of scales, shown in
Figs. 1-6, are for classifying
one topic of serviceability. Each paragraph in an Occupant Requirement
Scale (see Figs. 1-6)
summarizes one level of serviceability on that topic, which occupants
might require. The matching
entry in the Facility Rating Scale (see Figs. 1-6) is a translation of
the requirement into a
description of certain features of a facility which, taken in
combination, indicate that the
facility is likely to meet that level of required serviceability.
The entries in the Facility Rating Scale (see Figs. 1-6) are
indicative and not comprehensive. They
are for quick scanning to estimate approximately, quickly, and
economically, how well an office
facility is likely to meet the needs of one or another type of
occupant group over time. The
entries are not for measuring, knowing, or evaluating how an office
facility is performing.
This classification can be used to estimate the level of
serviceability of an existing facility. It
can also be used to estimate the serviceability of a facility that has
been planned but not yet
built, such as one for which single-line drawings and outline
specifications have been prepared.
This classification indicates what would cause a facility to be rated
at a certain level of
serviceability but does not state how to conduct a serviceability
rating nor how to assign a
serviceability score. That information is found in Practice E 1334.
The scales in this
classification are complimentary to and compatible with Practice E
1334. Each requires the other.
